Domain SQL Discovery: Find Unregistered Instances

Scan your Active Directory domain for SQL Server instances that aren't in your Central Management Server (CMS) or inventory. The DBAOps dashboard surfaces unregistered candidates so you can add them before they become blind spots.

How It Works

Discover-DomainSQLCandidates.ps1 queries AD for SQL Server service registrations, compares against your CMS, and reports instances you may have missed. Run it on a schedule or integrate with the DBAOps API.

.\Discover-DomainSQLCandidates.ps1 -Domain "contoso.com"

Use with the DBAOps Dashboard Discovery page to review and register new instances. CMS as source of truth—no more shadow SQL Servers.
